First Sail of the Year in our ELECTRIC Sailboat - Ep. 14 [ Sailing Ixion ]
Sailing Ixion
Sailing the world, that's the goal. We thought we were ready but we ran aground. We're into our refit 2.0, Ixion will be better and more prepared than before and will we begin out journey sailing the seven seas. It may be only be a Catalina 30, but it's a massive journey. We've been taken by the serenity and freedom of being at sea and now have set ourselves on a course which will lead us across seas and braving the oceans of the world to share ourselves with all of you and explore how the peoples of the world choose to live. Join us as we sail across the world, documenting distance ports in search of building human connections. Your contributions will enable us to produce better videos, upgrade to blue-water boat, reach more people, and leave the world a little bit better than how we found it. We're not looking to tell only our story, we want to connect with people around the world and help tell their stories too. We're looking forward to sharing our adventure with all of you!

We finally made it to our first sail of the year in our electric sailboat, which just happens to be Labor Day weekend. But in Ixion fashion, we still have work to do. Join us on our new expedition!
After what felt like an eternity, we finally are able to head out for a short period for a little shake down sail. It isn’t a journey just yet, but it was still nice to see what we have been working for for the last six or so months.
It definitely felt like the beginning of our new journey. We still have to do a proper shake down to test the limits and power consumption of the electric motor. But first, we have to shake the cobwebs out and sail Ixion. It’s the first of the year and we couldn’t be more excited!!! Next stop, our sail south to Florida!
Of course though, we have a few tiny projects left to do before Ixion is live aboard ready!
